Just Your Average Army (JYAA)

"Edd, I brought them so we could find their father. This was the last place he was seen at. Well in the back of a van at least." Tom explained in a whisper, "Besides what could go wrong?"

"Well I don't know Tom! What about this, the Red Army's main base is there?!"

"Yes Edd I know. And please stop yelling I finally got them all asleep." Tom whisper-growled into the phone, there was incoherent mumbling from Edd for a second.

"What about your eyes, Tom?! How are you going to hide them, and what has been happening?!" Perhaps he didn't think this through, "You have a mystery condition, that causes blood to pool in your eyes, how are you going to hide that?!" Tom had been ignoring the feeling of blood in his eyes, maybe he was getting used to it.

"I don't know... Maybe... it won't be a problem?" Tom sighed not allowing himself to lower his head so the blood wouldn't start to drip out.

"Yeah right. Besides don't think I don't know why you are in Norway."

"And that is?"

"To get revenge on Tord." At the mention of the name Tom growled.

"I did not. Besides Tord is a wanted man. He wouldn't dare show his face. Besides Aquila threaten that if I didn't find her father she'd kill me. And knowing her, she'd probably will." Tom sighed, the feeling of the blood in his pit eyes was giving him a headache, and his vision was turning red. "Edd I have to go. Cause you know.."

"Fine... but if you run into Tord do NOT attack him."

"Yes Mom." Tom sighed sarcastically, he heard Edd facepalm on the other side of the phone.

"Keep those kids safe. You too Tom, we already lost a sibling, and we don't want to lose another." Edd sighed, Tom could hear the sadness in his voice.

"Alright. Bye." Tom said as he hung up the phone he headed to the bathroom still holding his head up. Once he was inside he took off his shirt, careful not to let it touch his face. He leaned over the edge of the bathtub and let the blood flow out his sockets. His vision started to clear, he sighed getting himself comfortable, he fell asleep sitting up against the tub.

-With Tord-

He made his way to the hotel, he saw a man in blue lead what looked like an army of children up the stairs. He walked up to the front desk, there was a lady with purple dyed hair and green eyes sitting there. She looked up at him, he was struggling to remember his name.

"Oh! You must be Kris Rudd, follow me to your room sir." She said standing up and walking around the desk as a man took her place. "Right this way sir." She led him up the same staircase as the blue man and the child army. She led him to a room, on the outside the paint was chipped but when she opened the door, he was amazed at what he saw. The king sized bed with a red comforter, and a spectacular view of the city, in short, it was amazing. The girl handed him his key card, she walked off most likely because she had work to do. He walked into the room and shut the door behind him, he began to unpack the bags Ada packed for him. His burner phone rang, he picked it up.

"Hello?" He asked covering up his accent the best he possibly could.

"Hey its me." A voice replied he recognized it as Pat's voice.

"Is something wrong?" Tord asked in concern, he heard Pat take a deep breath.

"Well... turns out one of the prisoners was Edvard Flammia, Xena's husband.. Kathiren had a freak out.. She has some well... You know what I'll let Edvard tell you... because I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this." Pat explained, Tord could hear him talking to someone before the phone was passed around.
